Loan got sorted then?
a turbo'd yellow car
how much this all going to cost then and what bhp you looking to get?
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
300BHP an ordered everything today came to just under 5000.
This is going to be crazy lol
Would it be better getting ITB's with Wild cams for about £4500 or a Turbo for £5000 (Not sure how much it's gonna cost to fit so didn't put it in)? This isn't a dig btw, I'm thinking about this for next year.... want usuable power though and I've been told anything over 220bhp in a front wheel drive car is where it starts to go downhill.

Sorry bout the pics i had to use my phone. Not very good at making project threads.
Tomorrow engine will be fully stripped down ready for the new stuff to be put on.

No was told it will be ok do you think i should?? been told its not really old enough an not done the miles
Stage 2 172 Turbo
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
Mines not done that many lol Guy that fits pistons for a living is coming to help fit them tomorrow.
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
Dont wanna do that could make the block to weak for the turbo
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
How much have you done it by iv got the standard size pistons coming now anyways.
As above, i wouldnt fit new pistons without honing the bores IMO.
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
Not got a choice now got standard rings. Been told by mate that fits them all time that mine wont need doing not old enough and not done the miles.
Can he see through your block f**k id love to have his eyes
You can still use the rings youve bought, all it does is re hone the bore, gives the rings something to bed into. Best thing to do is take pics for us to see once you take pistons out, we will be able to tell then straight away
